What is Masonry Paint?

Exterior masonry paint is a specially formulated paint designed to protect surfaces from the elements. This highly durable, weather-resistant exterior paint is formulated providing a long-lasting colour and finish. It is suitable for all surfaces, including brick, render, concrete and previously painted exteriors. All our masonry paint is sourced from trusted, reputable, and time-tested paint manufacturers who cater to domestic and commercial use.

Masonry trade paint is dirt-resistant and made to withstand whatever the UK weather throws at it, from damp, rainy winters to heatwaves and UV exposure in summers. This paint is also breathable, allowing moisture to escape from surfaces, helping to prevent mould and blistering.

Need waterproof performance? While masonry paints aren’t completely resistant to water, they are water-shedding once completely dry. This means rainwater will run off the surface instead of soaking in, helping your property look its best for longer.

Whether you're refreshing exterior walls at home or tackling a large-scale commercial project, The Paint Shed has a masonry paint to suit every surface, finish and budget. Here's a quick look at what you'll find in our collection:

  • Smooth Masonry Paint: Ideal for most exterior walls, smooth finishes offer easier application with brush or roller and deliver a clean, uniform look.

  • Textured Masonry Paint: Designed to mask minor imperfections on rough or uneven surfaces, textured finishes help fill hairline cracks and offer added durability.

  • High-Performance Trade Paints: Built for longevity and professional use, these paints offer excellent weather resistance, strong adhesion, and extended durability in demanding environments.

  • Designer Masonry Paints: Premium finishes from leading design brands for those who want to combine standout style with dependable exterior protection.

  • Tints & Colour Matching: Choose from a wide selection of pre-mixed colours or have your paint tinted to match your project’s colour theme.

Explore our comprehensive range of masonry paints and discover the perfect fit for your next exterior project.

Any decent masonry paint job requires a little foresight, which is why we believe it's essential to have your surfaces primed before you begin work. Top masonry primers to try out include:

Anyone looking to smooth down or clean out any dirt or problem areas before beginning to paint should get a reliable wire brush, especially if using masonry paint on metal with rust patches.

What should I look for in a high-quality masonry paint?

It used to be that finding a decent masonry paint was a bit of trial and error, but you'll never have any issues shopping at The Paint Shed. When shopping for masonry paint, you'll want a paint that is fast-acting, provides decent coverage, doesn't cause trouble on the brush, and offers decent resistance against the elements.

If you're painting in high-moisture areas or have to paint over a mouldy surface, a reliable fungicidal wash will come in handy to prepare your surface accordingly. 

What surfaces does Masonry paint work best on?

Masonry paint is primed for use on walls outside, but you might want masonry paint if you're painting any of the following surfaces:

  • Outdoor wood

  • Metal (fencing)

  • Outdoor plastic

  • Flat paving stone (interior and exterior)

If you have a surface you want to paint, but are unsure about what you need, visit our Specialist Paint section. 

Are there different masonry paint finishes?

This is a common question customers have when they're unfamiliar with masonry paint. You'll tend to find that you can have smooth or textured masonry paint.

  • Smooth masonry paint is the most common and is typically used on most homes. You’ll find it is a little more forgiving and allows you to apply liberally with the brush. 

  • Textured masonry paint (also sometimes called fine or rough masonry paint) is slightly more accommodating due to its different consistency. The "texture" can help gloss over small patches and marks while also filling in better on cracks. If you've ever painted over the walls of an older roughcast home, you'll usually find they have had a coat of textured masonry paint before.

How much masonry paint should I use?

Unlike using a matt paint indoors, masonry paint tends to lay on a bit thicker, and you'll find yourself loading the brush just a touch heavier for quicker work on the surface. Masonry paints tend to have a lower level of coverage per litre compared to interior paints. 

For example, a best-seller like Weathershield Smooth Masonry gives around 4-6m² per litre. A product like Stormshield Smooth Masonry can give you 9-11m² per litre.

How long does masonry paint take to dry?

Drying times for exterior masonry paint differ by brand. However, most standard masonry paints will be touch dry between 4–6 hours and ready for a second coat after about 15–18 hours.

What is the best outdoor masonry paint?

We would recommend Dulux Trade Weathershield as our top choice for masonry paint. This paint offers 15-year performance and is also shower-resistant, making it more accessible to apply than other masonry paints available. Weathershield is more affordable than other masonry paints, making it a more attractive option for those seeking a reliable paint that won't break the bank. 

Is masonry paint waterproof?

The paints are not waterproof, as this tends to suggest they provide complete protection from water. They are, however, suited to being exposed to wet and rainy conditions and will not wash off when exposed to rainfall or other harsh weather once fully dried and cured.

Can I use masonry paint on wood?

Although masonry paint is specifically formulated for use on exterior brickwork or similar, it is also suitable for painting onto wooden surfaces.

What are the most popular exterior masonry paint colours?

Some of the most popular masonry colours include classic white, flint grey, soft cream, and muted greens. These shades are timeless, suit a wide range of properties, and help maintain a clean, fresh look on exterior walls. For a bold statement, darker tones like navy or charcoal are also on-trend.

Looking for some masonry paint inspiration? Then look no further than our article, which includes a wide range of colour inspiration from leading brands like Little Greene, Sandtex and Johnstone's Stormshield. 

We sell masonry paint in a huge range of colours and can also provide colour matching if you would like to ensure your paint ties in with an existing colour theme. You can also shop our wide range of white masonry paint brands.
